That when we move into our new townhome, that we can cancel cable, keep the internet and buy more gun stuff. Because if we dont have to buy cable i can do more stuff off my butt. Also she wants to get a shotgun.. any suggestions for a 110 lb lady.

+1 on the 930. Great guns, soft shooting, and lots of configurations available. Avoid the small 20ga pumps , they fit smaller shooters well, but the recoil is terrible. My wife has a youth 870 20ga, I would rather shoot my 10ga BPS, even with target loads, that thing kicks!

I got the Mossberg 505 bantam in .410 for my 10 yo daughter. She does rather well with it.

Another +1 on the Mossberg 930. Not sure I would go with the SPX, though. I've been hunting with a Mossy 9200 (the predecessor to the 930) for close to a dozen years and shooting trap and skeet for three years without so much as a hiccup. Bought a 930 a couple years ago as a backup gun, and it hasn't missed a beat, either.

The SPX is more of a home defense gun. If that's what she's looking for, it's a good choice. Otherwise, I would recommend the 930 field.

Semi-auto 20 gauge. Example would be a Remington 1100.

Hey This is the 110 lady that told her husband to stop being lazy, so now that we will not have cable when we move I will also need something to do... So i figure why not get a shotgun and pick up pheasant hunting again...Hence this post...now about me I can handle a 12 gauge shotgun and i can handle a kick to the shoulder..so no more .410's or youth guns..i want an all black gun that has some power.

Ok, so the Super Sport is probably out of the price range, and she might not deserve quite that much, although I am sure she is a sweet woman.

Edit because she snuck in the "I can handle it post"

Get the lady a 12 gauge 870 WINGMASTER and be done with it. Great Peasant gun, great finish. AND an 870 - the gold standard to build something with.

Put the black synthetic speedfeed stock on it when you are going to beat it up.

My wife is about your size, and like the 870 youth in 20 for clays and phessies. You can get the all black synthetic stock option to match your shoes if needed... :rotf:
